Three rods are arranged in the form of an equilateral triangle. Calculate the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centroid and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle. (Each rod has mass $M$ and length $L$)

  • A
    $M L^2$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{3} M L^2$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3} M L^2$
  • D
